- some dont know that Kevin porter set the record for most assist in a season HERE in Detroit, but was villified as a 'ballhog'!
- some dont know that MLCarr made the allstar team as a Piston but was more famous waving a towel on the Celtic bench
- some dont know WHAT the Piston record was the year before Isiah got here, where Isiah went to college, how the friendship between he and Magic came to be or why they call him Zeke
- some dont know how long George Blaha has broadcasted Piston games

Brother, I could go ON and On and On. Ive forgotten more Piston games than some will ever know. But win or lose..I HAVE no doubt IN MY MIND that this is a PISTONS FAN FORUM. Me and roscoe disagree, but I love him. The Low and lee356 disagree and they have a beautiful marraige. Gazoo and PCF have pretty green babies. We may not all agree...but we will always be fans...

Where were you on the night of this game..

DETROIT 186, DENVR 184 ??????

Its funny that you mentioned that game. First thing that you have to realize old skool is that i'm only 29 years of age. So for me to watch that game and truly understand everything that is going on would have been a marvel. Second I have seen that game on espn classic many times, and I belive it went 3 overtimes and Zeke had something like 45 pts and 15 assists(could be wrong about the assists). I have been a die-hard Piston fan since 1986 when I started to really get into basketball and have had the amazing opportunity to see us win big games and lose them also. I have seen us win titles and lose them also. Like you I have had sleeplessness nights pondering how we could won some of those games and days of euphoria after we were victorious. I am not questioning your loyalty old skool, but the series is only tied and just because we lost last night doesnt mean that the basketball world as we know it is gonna end. You have to support your team no matter what, its what "true" fans do.

Marv is also a guy who specializes in calling the play wrong, then saying "oh now they've changed to call to..." implying that the refs changed their minds when in reality he just lost track because he was looking around the first couple of rows for someone to bite.

Well guess what? The Cavs were the team to step up last night, which negated anything the Pistons brought to the table. All they did though was hold serve. All anybody has done is win at home. They deserve all the credit for winning two games in a row in the 4th quarter. Normally, the 4th is reserved for the Detroit Pistons against weaker opponents. This Cavs team thinks their in a competitive series. It's time the Detroit Pistons start thinking the same way. We're way better than we've been playing. But until the Detroit Pistons start taking the Cavs seriously, we will be behind the 8 ball. I've been calling them the "Detroit Pistons" cause this is a "Pistons Forum" and we must rally behind these guys. There will be plenty of time after the season to contemplate any moves you want, based on their FINAL results. If this were a chess match boys and girls...........look...........there are still pieces on the board to be played. Not a good idea to critize so EXTENSIVELY, when the playoffs are still going on for the Detroit Pistons. I see a Pistons victory in SIX GAMES. We will head back to Cleveland after a game 5 victory and hand those boys their @$$#@% in front of their home crowd.

You could, but I think the team might be better off just making a choice and letting DD or JMax get prepared to play from the beginning. Besides, what are the odds Webber is going to show up tomorrow night after the last few games?

Just do it to leave Max in a lower pressure role, like the Cavs did with Hughes/Gibson last night.

CB makin dumb decisions which leads to turnovers and not makin shots in the 4th quarter maybe due to he play 45-46 mins in this game. Does Flip know about this? Do his assistants know about this?

How do we beat them so easily (3-1) when we are suppose to cruising throughout the regular season and now in the playoffs, we are struggling to beat this team? Aren't we the experience team and can always flip the switch when the playoffs arrive???

Just plain frustrating. Anyway, I still have faith in them and think we can win this series in 6.

NOPE!!! Max needs to start. Not Davis, not Dyess, MAXIEL!!!!! There's 2 things that Clev likes to do early, (1) Go to Z in the post and (2)Run Pick and Roll. Webber being in our startting lineup allows them to do both of these things with success. He can't defend Z in the post, he just flat out can't do it. Secondly it's almost comical how they purposefully put Webb into P&R's knowing that he can't hedge & recover, he can't trap & recover and he can't switch. Give Mike Brown credit, he saw that Lebron was struggling with Max and Sheeds defense in the P&R, so he know runs it exclusively at Webber. The only problem with Max starting is he could possibly get switched out on Z and get toasted.

Please change your avatar, I want to punch Webber in the face for about 2 hours straight right now.

"Let's win a title for Chris..." Hey Chris how about you get off your fat ass and win a game this series, you should still be able win 1 game basically by yourself.

Well at least Mr. Webber isn't making me out to be a liar:

...Not to mention the countless newspaper articles on what Webber USED to be able to do and what he COULD do to help us...forgetting that none it will ACTUALLY happen because he'll be injured again or shooting 4-16 or disappearing in 4th qtrs...on and on.

This is a "Knick" like move which would result in tons of potential on paper, lots of excitement for the beat writers, but not much in the way of dependable victory come playoff time.
